Rookies on Board
posted by Ben on July 20th, 2009
With the past week’s signings of Ron Brace, George Bussey and Darius Butler, the Patriots have locked up all but three of the members of their 2009 draft class. Only top pick Patrick Chung, third rounder Tyrone McKenzie and sixth rounder Jake Ingram remain unsigned.
Chung’s probably just trying to get closer to first round money despite being a second round pick. There’s no rush on McKenzie because he’s sitting out this year after an injury during rookie minicamp, and Ingram may be in the race to fill Lonnie Paxton’s vacant spot as the long snapper and trying to cash in on it. Overall, wouldn’t get too concerned until we hear the word holdout.
